Verifiable Prediction
US Unemployment goes up or down in Dec 2008?
Homer ( Score Rank: User did not make predictions in the last 30 days ) Homer  |  was scored on 09-Jan-2009 (315 days ago)
The U.S. unemployment rate went up slightly in November from 6.5% to 6.7%. The unemployment rate climbed to a five year high in the last few months. This heightens the risk of another great depression. Let's predict if the US unemployment rate will go up or down in Dec 2008. We will verify the result here:

    The new figure is 7.2%. Not a pretty picture.

    Large seasononal employment will reduce unemployment.
    The big 3 autos will do little to cut jobs because they want to appear to be in bad shape to the US government to get a better bailout.
    After December unemployment may rise.
